The speed of sound calculation by tim brice and todd hall the speed of sound depends on several variables but the only independent variable we need to calculate the speed of sound is the temperature of the air.
Speed of sound.
The speed has a weak dependence on frequency and pressure in ordinary air deviating.
It depends strongly on temperature as well as the medium through which a sound wave is propagating.
The speed of sound in liquid water at 8 c 46 f is about 1 439 metres 4 721 feet per second.
In particular for dry air at a temperature of 0 c 32 f the modern value for the speed of sound is 331 29 metres 1 086 9 feet per second.
At 20 c the speed of sound in air is about 343 metres per second or a kilometre in 2 9 s or a mile in 4 7 s.
On earth the speed of sound at sea level assuming an air temperature of 59 degrees fahrenheit.
The speed of sound in an ideal gas depends only on its temperature and composition.
Speed of sound speed at which sound waves propagate through different materials.
